[FEATURE REQUEST] Duplicate Checking

[FEATURE REQUEST] Duplicate Checking

Isn't that this?

lolisafe/controllers/uploadController.js

Line 614 in 58cbcdd

// Check if the file exists by checking its hash and size

Granted I don't think that's effective at all if there's at least 1 byte difference.

Also something client-sided doesn't sound particularly effective for this, unless you want to explicitly disable uploads from other sources other than the homepage uploader.

People usually use pomf-based hosts to share screenshots, and those people would already have their own clients of some sort, me included.
Typically ShareX, and on my case, my own fork of uguush.

Frankly that's why I made additional features such as album ID, identifier length, upload age, etc. configurable through HTTP headers. To give such clients the freedom of configuring them as well.

I haven't done a full update in forever. Didn't realize this had been implemented. You're right, I haden't considered other sources. Implementing something to check for similar files would be hard and most likely error-prone.

Yeah.

On that matter, adding is:duplicate for the uploads list filter is on my backlog as well. It'll basically just group files by their hashes, and return ones that have more than 1 file in a group. But unlike the existing duplicates avoidance, this won't care about which accounts that uploaded them.

Will probably be useful if there are bad people that upload the same files with multiple accounts or whatever.
